To all...yes I meant glibc, not glib. Target environment -- could be any version of Linux. This is for Apache OpenOffice. The buildbots we've been using are being decommisioned due to EOL. As a developer on that project, I need to be able to test and use the builds. We'll be moving to a Ubuntu 14 environment, which is spec'd at glibc 2.19 near as I can determine. So a long story. We will not be building for targeted environments.
Well, at the end of the day, if you're trying to build for multiple environments then you really need to build to the lowest common denominator. What you seem to want is just the opposite, so short story is that it's bad planning to build to such a new version of glibc. You're not going to get around this, it just won't work.

Copy that. I do realize the sane thing to do is to have the builbots -- smoketest environments -- match the production environment, which currently is spec'd at CentOS 5.x. Unfortunately, I don't have direct control over some of this. <sigh>
